Here we go linmac, hope this helps a bit xx
standard sub (white or wheat) is 9 syns. The steak and cheese sub is 17 syns plus extra if you are adding any sauces.
chicken, turkey and ham are free on EE and red so 9 syns for the bread or get a salad instead. all salad apart from olives (0.5 syns)
A serving of sweet onion sauce is only 2 syns if you wanted something instead of mayo
The sweet onion chicken teriyaki salad is 5 syns, 3 for the salad (the chicken is in a marinade) and 2 syns for the sweet onion sauce.

Bad girl dubby!
Breakfast for me - tea and a slice of toast with marg and marmite. -( 1/2 b and 1 syn)
Saturdays mean step kids , and I've got mine this weekend too, so it's 6 meals arggggh . OH says 'let's order pizza' nooooooo we don't says mrs sensible. Too expensive to eat take outs for 6 - 2 of which include 2 ' never full 15 yr old boys' plus I'm sticking to plan thank you!
So easiest option with that lot is pasta and garlic bread.
So lunch first which said a quick goodbye to a large pack of eggs!
Lunch - Spanish omelette - peppers, tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, spinach (1 hea)
So then Dinner is a spicy sausage pasta that I'm throwing together. I've got some Lloyd grossman pasta sauces that work out at 11 syns for the jar so then divided by servings. Plus some joes sausages .
Be back with the result xx

Oh and bad bean too. What am I going to do with you two this weekend., lol. Well done on a good choice at nandos. I always have the chicken pitta too but I add cheese - oops.
My problem is evenings in front of the tv, OH works nights so I sit alone (ahhhhhhhhh) no sorry I can't hear the sympathy ! (AHHHHHHHHHH! ) that's better. So I usually succumb to a snack but I save some syns for chocolate options with a squirt of light cream and maybe a cake bar etc.

So here it is
PEBBLES CHILLI PIGGY PASTA
------------------------------------
Serves 4
red onion- sliced
1/2 red pepper 1/2 green pepper - sliced
Handful spinach
4 Joes garlic and herb sausages (free)
4 rashers bacon
3/4 bag Penne pasta
Lloyd grossmans tomato & chilli pasta sauce (11 syns per jar divided by 4 = 2.75 so call it 3 syns per serving )
Cook the pasta to instructions , drain . Put sausages under grill/ halogen/ oven to cook
Meanwhile spray a pan with frylight and add the onion , cook until soft
Add peppers and remove from pan once cooked through. Set aside.
Add bacon rashers chopped (and all visible fat removed) cook until browned. Then stir spinach through until wilted.
Empty jar of sauce into pan , heat through then add pasta and other ingredients. Chop sausages into bite sized pieces and stir through pasta.
Grate allowance of cheese on top and pop under grill, or into oven until melted. I used morrisons farmhouse mature but reduced fat cheese and used 2 'Hea's of 45 g each and it gave me loads once ,melted. Yummlicious . Really was gorgeous.

Oh 'dubchick! ' I won't tell anyone though, just keep it between me and you cos if the others found out you'd been bad they'd all want to be bad. So shhhhhhhhh.
Right - here's a challenge for you all - seeing as you've been naughty (except me and linmac ) I want a recipe from everyone this week please. It can be an old favourite of yours or a new one you're trying. Tell us what you're making, then add the recipe and a piccy if you can . Then we can all have a go.
Defrosting some steak tonight for tomorrow's lunch. I think I'll make a beef goulash or a steak and mushroom pie.
What's menus tonight ladies? I think you should all be on water after those lunches ! Xx

Good Sunday morning my lovely lot. The sun is shining here today and all is spring like! After yesterday's attempt to beat the Noah's ark incident.
Plans anyone? Anything exciting?
My kiddies are out until midday so I'm lying here in bed with my cup of tea trying to decide whether to do some more painting in the kitchen or tackle the garden! Started painting yesterday and finished one part where the new fridge freezer is going , that's being delivered tomorrow and I'm soooooo excited. More room, more freezer space , cold water and ice on demand - yooohooo.
Trying a recipe from 'kwise' on here for beef goulash , for tea and having it with tartiflette ( a French potato and cheese dish) can't wait to give that a go. Pudding is apple batter pudding yummy.
As its nice out we might get a walk in if the rain stays off. Need to work on my water intake I've had a headache for 3 days now . Xx
